Because this is a complete rewrite of the entire system, we have an opportunity to streamline the user login, account creation, and account management process. The new system should be intuitive and easy for students and teachers to use. This also means that there will be plenty of bugs to squash along the way, and we will need to develop worksheets/videos to show students how to use the new system.

In order to make sure the system is working as flawlessly as possible before students arrive next school year, we will need a few teachers who will be willing to test ChemThink over the summer by creating teacher accounts and mock classes. I anticipate that the basic functionality will be up and running by mid-July. If you are willing to test things out in late July/early August, please let us know by sending an email to developers@nerdislandstudios.com.

Just to whet your appetite, here are some preliminary screenshots:

The user login screen – Students and teachers will be greeted by the same login prompt.

The “Create an Account” screen – Students can sign up individually (as shown here), or as part of a class, where they will enter a six-digit class code provided by their teacher.

Thank you to everyone for the words of support. Getting everything running again is a huge effort, and it is great to hear from everyone who is using Chemthink!

Please leave your questions or comments below, and if you are interested in helping with testing this summer, please email us at developers@nerdislandstudios.com.

Welcome to SimBucket!

All of the simulations on this site were built by a small team of teachers. If you see something you like, please share it. If you have an idea for a new simulation, send us an email and we might just build it!
